Gaza and West Bank await elections amid Netanyahu worries
Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are watching the Israeli elections scheduled for October 27 with hope that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might lose, in order to avoid prolonging his far-right government. Although Palestinian issues are not a top priority for Israeli voters, the election results could directly impact their situation, especially amid ongoing violence in Gaza and settlement expansion in the West Bank. Palestinians see these elections as a matter of existential importance, expressing fears that the current policies—such as military escalation and settlement growth—will continue, policies that have resulted in the death of over 1,400 Palestinians since the ceasefire. Candidate Gadi Eisenkot promised to curb settler violence in the West Bank but rejected the idea of establishing a Palestinian state. Nonetheless, there remains concern that Israeli policies will persist regardless of the election outcome.
